Sugar Cookies! (Dairy and egg free!)

I really wanted sugar cookies and to decorate cookies with the babes - but I'm not sure if you know this but they all have dairy in them! So I played with a recipe. The cookies are not super soft sugar cookies - but firmer ones like Christmas cookies should be, and the icing is also dairy free and dries nice and firm so you can put them all together in a bowl and they don't smudge.

Refrigerate for a half hour or so and then roll out and use your cookie cutters! Place on a sprayed with oil baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 7-10 minutes depending on the heat of your oven - lightly browned on the bottom means done.

The icing is quite simple:

1 1/4c. icing sugar

1/8 c. hot water

1/2tsp. corn syrup

1/4tsp. vanilla

The babes had tons of fun helping me make the dough and did alright decorating until she realized that cookies were just a way to get icing and sprinkles into her little mouth!

Hope you are all having a wonderful time getting ready for Christmas! I'd love to hear what you have to do yet

Yumm! Your blog is so cute! Thank you so much for sharing. I am your newest follower. I'd appreciate it if you stopped over at my blog and followed me back! Thanks! http://milliemorganmedia.blogspot.com

What a great thing to share at Sharing Saturday! I have a friend with a son who is currently allergic to everything. This may be a recipe to use for him if I can find a good flour to use with it--he just reacted to wheat. Poor kid is literally allergic to everything! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I hope to see you again this week at Sharing Saturday!

Welcome !

I started this blog long ago as a way to motivate myself in my sewing adventures, and this blog is still mainly about sewing.

However as time has gone on I have discovered a major dairy allergy (and added some recipes on here), rekindled my 1st love of sketching, and lost a lot of craft time due to the previously mentioned daughters.

So this blog might look a bit scattered in interests and I may not post as often as I like. But I hope you feel comfortable here in my little space on the interweb. Please feel welcome to interact with me on here (I try and respond to every comment unless you are a no reply commenter).

I also am starting to get into selling my work! which I admit is a bit scary for me - but if you see something you like feel free to shoot me an email at thecraftingfiend@gmail.com or check out my facebook page and leave a message there.
